Today July 30th is the two year anniversary of when Gary and I sat in a room at the civil affairs office in Guangzhou , China. Waiting for Malia to be placed in our arms. I remember sitting there feeling very overwhelmed and excited. Looking at everyone who came up the steps, hoping to get a glimpse of her.

We were ushered into a private room, then and as soon as we sat down, in walked Ms. Tang (the orphanage director) with Malia in her arms. I lost it, I could not help it, I just busted out crying. I couldn’t believe it, this was the day I dreamed about for over 20 years...... It was here....... I will never forget that feeling or that day as long as I live. Malia, you are a blessing to this family and my one true little miracle. I love you soooooooo much.

This was taken minuets after she was put in our arms.You were such a sad little girl, for 5 days we could not get even the tiniest little smile out of you.You were such a tiny little thing too, you were 24 months old but wore 12 month old clothing and weighed 18 lbs.But after 5 days of holding, hugging, kissing and reasuring you, you started to smile....And have not stopped since.

You willingness to act goofy amazes me. Sometimes you will do anything for a laugh.

I was able to view the list on Wacap. You can see either their list or view the shared list. Their are no pictures and the discription is real brief (no province).

Are you with an agency yet? Or are you just starting to look? AWAA has the most beautiful little girl who has CP on their list. It says she has CP and mental develpment delay. Samething Lia's listed. Lia is not delayed mentally. Are you looking for older or younger than Malia?
